A horizon scanning was conducted to identify emerging research questions that environmental scientists think need to be considered for future ecosystem research infrastructure development and to prioritize them in a collaborative way.

To create a framework for assessing the performance of the infrastructure, the development of an appropriate methodology is mandatory. In this deliverable the proposed methodology is described and a preliminary performance assessment is conducted

Presents eLTER infrastructure requirements from a natural-scientific requirements point of view and suggestions for a standard observation program. The eLTER RI specific design and implementation were carried further in the proposal for an eLTER RI to the ESFRI Roadmap in August 2017, which was accepted in June 2018.

This report focuses on understanding the context, challenges and opportunities characterising the interaction between societal stakeholders and researchers to create a best practice guide for site managers and national network coordinators

presents a variety of tools and applications that might be useful for researchers, managers, and decision makers in long-term ecological research sites to implement ground, airborne, and spaceborne remote sensing for upscaling the traditional ground measurements and the commonly-used analytical laboratory analyses in the spatial and temporal domains

An overview on research papers based on data from the eLTER site network that deal with climate change related topics. Also includes an assessment of the representativeness of research regarding the coverage of different ecosystem components (using the concept of ecosystem integrity) and the representation of major habitat types and European biogeographic regions

Describes the LTSER Spatial Economic Ecological Database (LTSER-SEED) online tool, providing enhanced access to LTSER data, along with six example analyses of LTSER regions in Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands
